Novak Djokovic, fresh off his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title, doesn't yet know if he can compete in the US Open in late August. Currently, he isn't allowed to travel to the United States unless he can provide he's fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and Djokovic remains unvaccinated.
But the Serbian tennis star said he is "preparing as if" he will eventually be allowed to compete in the tournament he's won twice since 2018.
"Fingers crossed!" Djokovic wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.
Following his victory over Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon in June, Djokovic said he "would love to go to the States" to play in the US Open but that it's "not possible" because he still isn't vaccinated.
